Alzahid-Adult Amir Vs. Child Amir

From what we have read in the past chapters, we can easily tell that Amir lived a weak childhood, he wasn’t able to do anything by him self. Amir got older and he is trying to fix what he had done in his childhood, that why his going back to Afghanistan.

As in Chapter 16, in which Rahim Khan updates Amir on what has happened to Hassan since Amir and Baba left Kabul, or in Hassan's letter, in which some of the same events are told from a different point of view

The adult Amir moves to remedy this failure by accepting the mission to rescue Hassan's son, Sohrab, from an uncertain end.

The author alludes to earlier in the book, when Amir hid money in Hassan's bed in order to get rid of the guilt-inducing presence of the boy. This time, however the adult Amir hides money in order to help Farid's family, who suffer greatly form the oppressive regime of the Taliban.
